Houston's Burns Original BBQ Expands with New Burger Shack

In 1973 Burns Original BBQ opened its humble doors, only to become one of the titans of Texas-style barbecue. However, despite being an institution in the Houston area, the family-owned business kept things pretty low-key, local.

That is, until Anthony Bourdain recently showed up for a bite to eat while he was filming for his CNN show Parts Unknown.

Yes, it's true. Now you never have to choose between burgers and BBQ again. All you need to do is visit the one stop shop down in Houston. Although, we would recommend getting some to-go as eating it all in one sitting will likely result in some serious meat sweats.

According to Houston Eater, after only being open less than a week, Houston rapper Slim Thug has already endorsed the Burns Burger Shack. Although apparently he has yet to give his opinion on whether or not the burgers are on par with the legendary barbecue.
